[Key Focus Restore control (1125) in FSUIPC5]

Hi Pete and John,

how can I set the focus on P3D undocked View , e,G.:  View 03  ?

[Toggle between Views in P3D]

Hello,  I found the solution in doc "Advanced User Guide" on Page 21/22.

I used the Flag Toggle function. C1005.

thanks for reading.

[Toggle between Views in P3D]

Hello, here again a challanging question:

How can I toggle with ONE controler button between two P3D views? E.g.: View 1 is Steering Wheel view and View 2 is Cockpit View.

The View assignments in P3D are known to me.

Is it possible with standard FSUIPC functions or must I program a LUA sequence?

[Assigning joystick POV buttons to external view]

Hello John, it works PERFECT.

Now I can move the drone with my Joystick !

here are my  .INI entries after assigning and following your proposal :

• Axes.BB58]
• 0=AX,256,D,1,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Aileron }-
• 1=AX,UR,4160,16383,1070,2113    -{ DIRECT: AileronEntering=: A }-
• 2=AX,DR,-16384,-3984,1070,2116    -{ Entering=: D }-
• 3=AY,256,D,2,0,0,0    -{ DIRECT: Elevator }-
• 4=AY,UR,3808,16383,1070,2135    -{ DIRECT: ElevatorEntering=: W }-
• 5=AY,DR,-16384,-2667,1070,2131    -{ Entering=: S }-

Thanks, Alhard

This will be corrected in the next release. Not sure when this will be, but I can make a beta version available if needed. Just let me know.

I assume you also realise that if doing this, the elevator will also move when you move the drone camera forward...

John

Hi John, Thanks for your detailed advices.

With MSFS I can use the Controler Axes (Joystick) for moving the Drone.

With your advices above I can do this also. This is what I need.

Please send me the beta version. I wil test asap.

I use now for the time being a MSFS key for these drone actions via a FSUIPC controller button assignment.

This is an intermediate solution.

Thanks, John

[Assigning joystick POV buttons to external view]

Hi John, I still have another question in assigning my controlers.

For moving the Drone camera I now use in FSUIPC7 the MSFS keyboard assignment (e.g. "Translate Drone Left" with key "A").

But for moving the drone camera forward, I used in MSFS Controler Profile my joystick axes moving forward, also assigned to Elevator axes.

How can I assign with FSUIPC7 these two different functions: Elevator axes AND Drone "Translate Drone Forward"  ??

Thanks.

The camera controls don't work in MSFS via external assignments. You have to assign your POV to the default key assignments in MSFS for controlling the view.
These are, by default: lctl+Left, lctl+Right, lctl+Down, lctl+Up.

John

Thanks John, it works now.

So as a result: All assignments, which do not work, should be assigned via the MSFS keyboard assignments.

You never end to learn!

[Assigning joystick POV buttons to external view]

Hi John&Peter,

My search through all forums was negative.

How can I assign my hat switch to an external view like "external view look right" with "Joystick Pov Left"

Hello Reinhard, das ist genau , was ich brauche.

Thats exactly what I need. I have LUA experience and will try it asap.

There are all undocked windows on the other monitors.

Sorry, this is not anything FSUIPC can do at present. The Lua library functions for programs loaded by Lua (ext.run function) include focus facilities, but not for individual windows within a process, and certainly not for P3D itself.

You could perhaps do it with a Lua plug-in which uses the mouse library -- mouse.move to more the cursor to a suitable position, then mouse.click to set the focus there. I can't think of any other way.

Thanks, Pete, I will try with mouse.move. Haven't found any solution yet.

[Change Focus to undocked Cockpit View]

Hi all,

I am flying with P3D  and an A320 on two monitors. I separate my undocked cockpit view on the second monitor. On my Master monitor runs the main P3D process with main panel view. So I have two views running. I change the views with FSUIPC and my controller buttons.

Now I want to change the view on the second monitor e.g. from cockpit view to spot view. But before I do this, I have to click on the second monitor in order to get focus on that screen. Then the view change works by controller buttons.

Now my question: what FSUIPC function can I use to change the focus to my second screen, before I change the view by controller button with a key sequence and FSUIPC?

My term "focus" always means the MS Windows process focus.

Thanks and regards

I'm sorry, but how is that misleading? It means the forum is not for support requests....how can I make that more understandable?

Please excuse me, even I created a lot of posts in the past, I overlooked this time the "create new topic" at he end of main forum title.

All is ok!

My Airbus is the FSL A320 and/or the PROSIM Cockpit builder Version.

And/or? I'm sorry, but they are very different and will (most probably) need different configurations....

I need at first the information about reading ADIRS values with FUIPC6  in PROSIM A320 149B7.

We are using as Hardware ARDUINO and PoKeys Interface.

--

Referring the MSFS2020 items , as there is not yet an  A320 available with LVARS, SimConnect, etc. for OVHD_ADIRS functions. The "KNOB" functions I already found, but I don't need it for now. Waiting for the Fenix Bus some time.

Great Thanks  for your large response.

[PROSIM A3xx with FSUIPC6: How to Read ADIRS value in A3XX OVHD]

Hello John, sorry for beeing in the wrong Sub-forum. The text "NOT for support requests" was misleading me.

I am using all FSUIPC Versions up to V7, and my question goes to FSUIPC 6 (P3D). My Airbus is the FSL A320 and/or the PROSIM Cockpit builder Version.

As FS11 (MSFS) is not yet stable enough, I just play around and not using FSUIPC7 for now. But if you have an offset for the default A320 in FS11, then I am interested. Are there LVARS available?

What do you want to know more?

 

[PROSIM A3xx with FSUIPC6: How to Read ADIRS value in A3XX OVHD]

*** Moved from User Contributions to FSUIPC7 support forum ***

Hello Pete and John, I want to read the value of the ADIRS panel display in the overhead of a A3XX.

Is there a Simconnect / FSUIPC Offset available?

I try to display this value on my LED Display Hardware.

thanks

[Calculate ETA in FSX,P3D,FS11,XP11]

My question A refers to the source of the offset values. Are these values from the sim by simconnect or from aircraft.cfg or from loaded flightplan? By what interface are you collecting the offset values?

[Calculate ETA in FSX,P3D,FS11,XP11]

Hi John, I was a little irretated by the offset 6298, I didn't find, but I think it was a typo, correct is 6198. Now I found all these offsets about ETA, ETE in the current FSUIPC Offset manual.

My goal is following:

Standing on a gate with e.g. BB58 and an imported flight plan from EDDN to EDDM with total distance (D) of about 109 nM.

Cruise speed (CS) of BB58 is (aircraft.cfg) "cruise_speed = 180.0 //Knots True (KTAS)"

Now I want to see the ETA on my screen: Result  D/CS = about 40 minutes from now.

I know, there are a lot of extra tools for this calculation, but I want to have it with FSUIPC which I am using since many years.

My problem of monitoring this value is solved by your proposal with LUA ipc.display function.

And I found a solution with SPAD.neXt, to show the value on my Saitek Radio Panel.

Now I will configure this and report later.

At the end  questions :

A: from where do you read the offset 61A0 value, from where do you read the offset 619C value and from where do you read the offset 0548 value?

B: In what status should the sim stand during your offset readings? I need A/C standing on ground , no speed.

 

Thanks a lot and best regards

  Alhard

 

 

 

[Calculate ETA in FSX,P3D,FS11,XP11]

Thanks John, but with what tool do I find these offsets? In your FSUIPC manuals I do not find the usage.

An how can I display the values?

I am a little confused.

 

[Calculate ETA in FSX,P3D,FS11,XP11]

Hello Pete, hello John, hello Forum members

I want to calculate and monitor the ETA of my planned flight with this simple calculation: Time = Distance / Speed

As I know SimConnect („ESTIMATED CRUISE SPEED“) or Aircraft.cfg („cruise_speed“)) could be read out by FSUIPC. The planned distance could be read out of the imported flight plan.

So the data are there. But how to calculate and monitor with FSUIPS or LUA. Do you know a way to implement this calcualtion with FSUIPC or LUA ?

Or is there already a solution existing?

regards

[Yoke stuck to left position]

Healthy New Year

Thanks John, the solution of my problem was solved by reinstalling the Saitek drivers.

As long as I am not forced to do, I am NOT installing the datagrabber WIN10.

 

[Yoke stuck to left position]

Hi Pete and John,

I have a very strange behaviour of my Saitek yoke.

System Info: WIN7, Saitek Yoke with Quadrant, FSX, FSUIPC 4, runs without problems since 3 years.

The problem started when the yoke was suddenly fully on the left side during flight after disabling the autopilot. Moving to the right side started in the middle (zero) position and goes properly to the right side. But moving to the left jumps from zero to -16384. This happens to all aircrafts.

The Windows Game Controller APP shows values of the Yoke, which were completly ok.

I totally deinstalled FSX, changed my Saitek USB to another plug, deactivated FSUIPC.  NOTHING changed, the failure (now with the FSX controls) was still there.

Do you have an idea, even FSUIPC is not responsible??

 

[Ignore Axis missing]

Oh, I didnt know. Was it announced somewhere.

I fully understand you to end development , cause I was a developer also in my early times.

Nevertheless, it's bad news for our new function "Ignore" in FSX.

 

I tested the minor update successfully ! Thanks again.

 

best regards

Alhard

PS: send me a PM if you have a work around idea.
